Leo Buscaglia, affectionately known as "Dr. Love," was a professor of special education whose writings profoundly explored the landscape of love and the reticences people often hold regarding it. As a prolific author of inspirational bestsellers, he passionately advocated for open discussion and expression of affection. His work often stemmed from a place of genuine outrage at the scarcity of literature on the subject, famously proclaiming his intention to copyright love itself. Through his engaging prose, Buscaglia encouraged readers to embrace vulnerability and deepen their understanding of human connection.
Loving is a choice that offers alternatives to frustration, loneliness and fear ... [we are encouraged] to think, feel and move toward actions that will bring about growth in love. What he suggests is more than a love style--it is a life style--Cover
LIVING, LOVING AND LEARNING is a delightful collection of Dr. Buscaglia's informative and amusing lectures, which were delivered worldwide between 1970 and 1981. This inspirational treasure is for all those eager to accept the challenge of life and to profit from the wonder of love."An investment in life is an investment in change. When you are changing all the time, you’ve got to continue to keep adjusting for change, which means that you are going to be constantly facing new obstacles. That’s the joy of living. And once you are involved in the process of becoming, there is no stopping. You're doomed! You’re gone! But what a fantastic journey!" "I think the loving person must return to spontaneity — return to touching each other, to holding each other, to smiling at each other, to thinking of each other, to caring about each other….Hugs are good, they feel nice, and if you don’t believe it, try it." "We've got to learn to trust again, to believe again. Of course it's a risk, but everything is a risk. We need to begin to go beyond just ‘being’ again. We’ve got to get in touch with being human and there’s a difference."

In uno stile appassionato e ironico, Leo Buscaglia rende partecipi i lettori di sette episodi della sua vita intimamente connessi alle vacanze natalizie, spiegando come ciascuno di questi eventi sia valso a rafforzare la sua fede nella sollecitudine e nell'amore umani. Ma ricorda anche come il Natale possa prolungarsi ben oltre lo scoccare della mezzanotte; come lo spirito e l'incanto di quel momento così particolare dell'anno possano permanere nel tempo. Generosità, gioia e amore non sono dunque sentimenti stagionali, ma parole pervase di speranza per tutti i giorni dell'anno.
